High-definition television transition

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Not to be confused with High-definition television or Digital television transition.

The transition to high-definition television is a process by which standard-definition (SD) television signals are upgraded to a high-definition (HD) format.[1] In this process, channels usually either simulcast their HD signals alongside the existing SD signals or broadcast exclusively in HD. The transition to the latter is often called the standard-definition television switch-off.

In most territories worldwide, the complete shutdown of the lower-resolution signals has not yet begun or is still in its early stages, notably in the many countries still undergoing the analogue switch-off.

In territories and services where SD signals have already ceased, television sets that do not support terrestrial HD signals are required to be replaced or equipped with set-top boxes compatible with HD signals.[1][2][3] In some cases, this switch-off has led to a high demand for new set-top boxes and TV sets, resulting in shortages.[4]

Transition to HD and SD switch-off now completed

[edit]

In Asia

[edit]
  •  Brunei: Radio Television Brunei began incoporating HD channels by 2010[5] and fully migrated all its channels to HD digital service on 1 January 2018.[6]
  •  Singapore: On 10 June 2006, Singapore became the first country in Southeast Asia to begin trials of high-definition television service, involving MediaCorp and cable provider StarHub. The beginning of the trials coincided with the 2006 FIFA World Cup, with StarHub launching HD service for 1,000 participants. It would carry all matches from the tournament in HD, and then two HD trial channels afterward. MediaCorp would launch its terrestrial trial service just over a week later 18 June, carrying a part-time service in prime time with a mix of original and acquired HD programming and films (some of which simulcast from Channel 5), with its inaugural broadcast featuring the film The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers.[7][8] On 11 November 2007, the trial service was relaunched as HD5, an HD simulcast of Channel 5. MediaCorp also tested interactive television. In June 2012, after a trial conducted by Mediacorp and StarHub in Ang Mo Kio and Bedok, the Media Development Authority officially announced that Singapore would adopt the DVB-T2 standard, with Mediacorp aiming to make all seven of its free-to-air channels available in digital by the end of 2013, with Channel 5, 8, Suria, and Vasantham also being in high definition. The member countries of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) agreed to complete their transitions by 2020. As of April 2024, All the Singaporean native channels are now in high definition.

In Europe

[edit]
  •  Andorra: The first HD channels in Andorra were those offered from Spain, namely TV3, LaSexta, Telecinco and Antena 3.[9] The country's own channel, Andorra Televisió, started broadcasting in HD on 30 September 2019.[10][11] Regarding the switch-off, most Andorran channels switched off their SD signals in the country on 2 February 2022, with the exception of a few standard definition-only international channels such as Portuguese channels RTP International and TVI International.[12][13][14]
  • Logo for RAI's former HD channel, closed in 2013 in favour of HD simulcasts of all main channels.
     Italy: The first HD broadcasts in Italy took place in February 2006, during the 2006 Winter Olympics in Turin, when RAI experimentally broadcast some of the events in a 1080i signal.[15] In 2008, RAI broadcast the UEFA Euro 2008 tournament in high definition under a test channel called Rai Test HD (later Rai HD [it]) in the areas of Turin, Rome, Milan, Aosta and Sardinia. Rai HD was closed in favour of simulcast HD versions of the channels on 25 October 2013. Following the switchover to DVB-T2 on 8 March 2022,[16] the HD versions of Italian channels were moved to the top of the list, while the SD versions were positioned from 500 onwards.[17] Channels still broadcasting in SD began to be shut down on 21 December 2022,[18] with the total closure taking place on 1 January 2023,[19][2] although many channels still carry the HD identifier in their logos. Rai 3 took until May 2023 to be moved to position 3, due to difficulties with regional broadcasts, with the SD version being replaced by Rai News 24 HD.[20][21]
  • An outdated TV set only supporting standard definition signals displays the SD feed of local channel Telemadrid with the label "Telemadrid is being phased out" in Castilian.
     Spain: The first television channel to test HD in Spain was Aragón TV, and the first fully HD channel was Televisió de Catalunya's TV3 HD. On 19 June 2009, Televisión Española launched a high-definition channel, first in Valladolid, then in Barcelona and finally statewide, under the name TVE HD.[22] Regarding private broadcasters, the first HD simulcasts were launched by Telecinco on 20 September 2010,[23] followed by Antena 3 on 28 September[24] and La Sexta on 1 November. In April 2016, the first channels with just a high-definition feed began to appear: Atreseries and BeMad TV, as well as the public broadcasts of Real Madrid TV. Originally, the Spanish government planned to require all standard definition broadcasts to cease on 1 January 2023, along with Italy, but the decision was postponed.[25] On 17 January 2023, a decree issued by the Ministry of Digital Transformation set the final closing date at 14 February 2024.[26][27] The first channel to shut down its SD broadcasts was Extremaduran channel Canal Extremadura on 15 January 2024. It was followed by Canarian Televisión Canaria and all the Catalan channels from Televisió de Catalunya, which did so the next day.[28][29][3] TVE closed all its SD channels on 6 February, coinciding with the launch of its 4K channel, TVE UHD [es],[30][31] while Telemadrid and the Basque channels from ETB did the switch-off on 8 February. Most regional channels carried out the switch-off on 12 February, with the exception of La 7 in Murcia, which did so on the 13th, just one day before the full closure of SD signals.[29] Most private channels cut out SD signals on 14 February. SD-only channels, such as Boing, Disney Channel, DMAX and DKiss, switched their feeds to HD.[32]
    •  Catalonia: The HD version of flagship public channel TV3 was launched on 23 April 2007, being fully implemented in March 2011.[33] On 30 October 2023, channels 3/24, SX3, Esport3 and El 33 started broadcasting in HD online, through the 3Cat platform. In January 2024, Televisió de Catalunya announced the shutdown of all SD signals would take place on 16 January, with the SD version of TV3 being shut down and all the other channels automatically switching their feeds into HD.[34][35][36][28] The Balearic channel IB3, which until then had only broadcast in poor SD quality due to the limited space left in the multiplex, also made the switch to HD on the same day.[3] The switch-off of SD television caused queues and shortages of adapters and television sets across Catalonia.[37]
